opening from desktop

[Joe]

Hello,

I am having problems opening up any excel projects from my desktop, I have
to open a blank excel program and go through file, open, then to the file on
my desktop or from any of my folders to open up a file. How can I open from
my desktop or from a folder?

Gary,

this did not work so I uninstalled office and re-installed office and it
works.
Thanks for your suggestion.
